Frequently Asked Questions

---

Q: I have some items that I'm not sure are real gold or silver, can you tell if they are real?
A: YES! We encourage you to bring in all items you believe may be gold, silver, or platinum. We will test them for you while you watch and determine the metal content of these items FREE of charge.

---

Q: Am I obligated to sell my items once you have tested them?
A: NO! Our testing and our offer is FREE to you. As you know, gold price changes constantly and therefore any offer we make is only good at the time we make the offer. If you choose not to sell and later change your mind, no problem, we will re-test and make a new offer.

---

Q: Do you have to remove my gemstones before making an offer on my jewelry?
A: NO! We do not remove stones before we make you an offer. In many cases, we will include the weight of the stones as gold weight. If the stones are very large, we might have to adjust the weight of your items to allow for this.

Q: Why should I bring my gold & silver to Carol's Things instead of one of those "We buy gold" buildings I see popping up everywhere?
A: Simple, we pay more. Think about it, if all you do is buy gold and you have to pay rent on a building, employee wages, utilities, etc.. then you are going to have to make more in order to stay in business. That means those type of places can not pay what we do. We own our buildings and buying gold and silver is only a small part of what we do. This allows us to pay you more! Plus, we have been in business for 25 years in the Tri-Cities so you know you can trust us! Can you say that about a place ran by someone who previously sold used cars?

---

Q: Why not send my gold and Silver to one of those "As Seen on TV Guys"?
A: This one is also simple: If a company is paying thousands (or even millions) of dollars on advertising on prime time television (or even the Super bowl!). who do you think is paying for that?

Their customers of course! Some of these companies feel that you will think "They must be reputable otherwise they wouldn't be on TV." (Politicians are on TV every day!) This is how they can get customers, pay less, and not worry about customer complaints. Carol's Things PAYS MORE and gets more business by word of mouth and an unusually high percentage of repeat customers. We would much rather give the cash to YOU than the television networks!
